These are general advice and discussion shows. Here you will find shows dedicated to large ideas about running games; how to create worlds and re-skin monsters to make them new and exciting as well as discussions about minute and individuals rules; how spell slots work in D&D 5e or how to properly set a DC for a skill check. These shows were originally called Dungeon Talks but the content is the same no matter how far back you go.
